New York Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul, who will become the next governor of the state upon Andrew Cuomo’s resignation on Aug. 24 promised “a whole new era” for diversity in Albany upon her arrival in office.

Cuomo resigned on Tuesday after New York attorney general Letitia James revealed that he sexually harassed 11 women in a workplace that was deemed toxic.

Hochul told CBS’s “Face The Nation”on Sunday morning that she will decide the best action to take when it comes to communicating with the victims when she takes over later this month while ensuring that her administration will speak to “all women.”
